WATER-FILTER.

056,608. Specttlcetion ol' Application tiled December I8. 1009.

To all whom it muy romfrn:

Bn it known that )l.\x|\i|i.i.\.\' Guss-Liza. residing in .\lil\\'aultee. in the county of .\lil waukee and State of- Wisconsin. hare invented new and useful linproifmients in Vater-Filters, of which the followin" is :i:

had to tie aeconipanyng drawing, which are ii part of thi specification` This invention huS for its object to provide n water filter adapted for connection with the pressure main of a water lsupply "vstein and having a reservoir for containing :i quantity of filtered water ex osed to view and from which the water is i rawn through a faucet as needed, there being automatic means for checking the tlow of water when a predetermined quantity has been supplied to thereservoir, and thus assure the presence, of an ample reserve of filtered water for suppbz'eing the demand u mn the'filter at times w n the restricted ow through the filter .stone would be insucieut.

'With the above and other .objects in view the .invention consists in the water filter bemin claimed, its parts and combinationsl of partaand all uivalents.

In the aecoinqpanying drawing the figure represents a sectional view of a filter. condructed in accordance with this invention.

In this drawing] indicates a casing, preferably of heat insulating einnitruction, with a removable cover 2 and containing an inner casing 8 havin a pi connection 4 leading thereto from t ie wa er main or other snitable source of drinking water supply. 'Ihe inner casing 3 is tight y sealed by a cover 5 ao aa toprevent the leakage uf water therefrom an a tube 6 passing vertically through aaid cover and the cover 2 of the outer casin 'entersa nipple 7 at its lower end which ia tted within a packing gland 8 in a boss- 9 at the bottom of he casing 8 and communicates with a discharge pipe 10 pasiiing 'out through thewalls of t casings and having Y ,a faucet 11 from which tlc filtered water ma be drawn. Siirroun mg the tube 6 ani clamped between the flange of nipple 7 12 on said tube is a hollow cylin- .and rings 'drical ilte'r stone 13 through which the water percolates from the interior of the casing to the central openin ot'.aaid tiltcr stone where it enters tube by passing through suitable openings t4 therein;

.Qn the upper end of the tube 6 is threaded a ylindrica valve chamber 15 bearing en a Leiiei-sriiieni. lnteliteil )luy 2l. i910.

Serial No. 533.923.

llliing'eil ill-k shaped gasket lt of rubber or futher suitable material which t'orni.` ai seal y for :i gln reservoir lT iu the shape of un inverted bottle resting on said gasket :ind i haring,r its nei-k portion hidden from view br a funnel shaped guard 1S surrounding it and extending upwardly from the cori-r :2.

the cylindrical valve casiu l5 and the opening It) in the upper end o said valve casing is eontrplled by means of a rubber fiieed di-k valve Qtl'carried on the lower end of a and is guided in a bearing 2 carried by an arched support 23 on the to of the vulve easing. At the up er end of t ie stein 2l is ii float 24 which, wien the water within the reservoir 7. admitted throw itlietube tl from the tlter stone hns reaehe a predeterinineil valve 2t) to become seated around the o water, there being a vent opening .25 in the top of the reservoir to freely permit the chan in level of the water coiitiiia'ed therein. o limit the downward movement of the valve a pin 26 extends across the viili'e chamber 15 to be engaged thereby so that there is no possibility o the valve lowering the vulve chamber to the tube tl.

lii use, the water imiter pressurientering theeaiug 3 is eooltiil, by nieiiiiii of a peeking of ire between the easing 3 and the easing. l and finds its way throii 'h the lilter stone I3 to the tube 6 by which it is conducted to the valve chamber l5 and tbenee past the open viilre 20 into the reservoir l'i' where it will continue to riiie'iint il the predetermined lerejl has been rein-lied when at. lifts the float 24 and elia-ws the. vulve .tl tii prevent ii further inflow. When the faiieet 1l is named it draws water from' the tube t'i and aanbedelnand is greater than the filter stu-ie will supply direct the resin-ve snppl' in the reservoir is drawn on, tie vulve 20 opening beeiiniie of the removal of the pressure from beneath" it and permitting the water from tbe reservoir to pass thereby and through the tube 6. As soon iis the iiiieet ll is closed the filter begins to recharge the reservoir with filtered water which iaffree to flow it itil the pieileteriiiineil level is reached when the valve is ii ain closed by the float as before dei-ieribci and further movement o! the water ceas.

'l`hetiibe 6 communicates with the interior of.

siiflieienlly to clone the coinininiii-iition from stem 2l which passes throu i said opening level, will be lifted thereby and cause the.'

ning 1t) so as to check the further inllow of 'it I) eia'itainiwl g een With this invention'he glass reservoir not onl serves as a means for sterili filtered water so as to have a quantity tiereof at. hand when unusual deiand i.' made therefor, und tlm.`V avoid the delay in having t0 await the action of' the filter stone, hut hy means thereof the clear filtered water is ke t. in view at. all times. 'Ihe mechanism in tlie neck portion of the reservoir'is preferably hidden from view by the guard as shown, and the stein and float may be made of glass ii iso desired so that they will be less noticell L'.

l desire it to be understood that this invention is not limited lo any specific form or arrangement of parts except in so far as such limitations ure specified m the claim.

'hat l claim as new and desire to secure b v latters latent is:

filter .comprising an outer casing, a cover therefor. an inner casing contained within the outer casing. means for admitting \\'u.r under preaeurc to thel ilmer casing, the space between the inner casing and the outer easin being ada )ted to receive ice for coolingt ie water wit iin the inner casing, a filter stone within the inner casing, a tube leading therefrom through the cover of the outer casing, a flanged gasket surrounding the tube, a cylindrical casing threaded on the upper end of the tube and bearing on tlm sket, an inverted glass bottle mounted ol tie cover bv having the cylindrical casin| fitting within the neck )rtion thereof ane having its mouth fitte( upon the gasket, n uard on the cover surrounding'l hl neck of ille bottle to hide the cylin 'ce casing from view, aid bottle constituting l reservoir to receive filtered water from til tube through the cylindrical easing, in wardly extending flanges at the upper en( of the cylindrical cnam forming a valvl seat, a valve contained within the cylindrica casing to close communication between thl tube and the reservoir when seated on tia flange, an arched guide on .the cylindrica casing, a stem connected with the valve an( slidably mounted through the guide, and l float carried by the stem for closing th valve when the water reaches a prede termined level in the reservoir, there being a vent opening in the upper portion of thi reservoir.

In testimonv whereof, I aix my signature in presence of' two witnesses.
